About 0SGJ45Z
0SGJ45Z is the ICD-10-PCS code for a fusion procedure on the left tarsal joint using a percutaneous endoscopic approach with external fixation device. In ICD-10-PCS, fusion means joining together portions of an articular body part rendering the articular body part immobile.
In plain terms, this corresponds to other fusion of foot, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (81.17).
For a different body part, codes include 0SG945Z (right hip joint), 0SGB45Z (left hip joint), 0SGC45Z (right knee joint), 0SGD45Z (left knee joint), 0SGF45Z (right ankle joint), 0SGG45Z (left ankle joint) and 7 more.
The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0SGJ05Z (open) and 0SGJ35Z (percutaneous).
With a different device, use 0SGJ43Z (internal fixation device, sustained compression), 0SGJ44Z (internal fixation device), 0SGJ47Z (autologous tissue substitute), 0SGJ4JZ (synthetic substitute) and 0SGJ4KZ (nonautologous tissue substitute).
It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 503 (Foot Procedures with MCC), DRG 504 (Foot Procedures with CC), DRG 505 (Foot Procedures without CC/MCC), DRG 907 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with MCC), DRG 908 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries with CC) and DRG 909 (Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries without CC/MCC), under the surgical categories “Foot Procedures”, “Other O.R. Procedures for Injuries” and “Other O.R. Procedures for Multiple Significant Trauma”.
It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
